Description
The Rice Center’s “What do you need” funds are designed to help Williams College faculty enhance their teaching by providing support for small, targeted purchases that are not typically available through departmental resources. These funds are intended for items or supplies that can significantly improve classroom instruction or teaching effectiveness, but which fall outside standard budget allocations. The program enables faculty and departments to make modest, impactful investments in their teaching practice.
